Accredited Clinical Hypnotherapist & Mindfulness Teacher in Stoke-on-Trent. Face to Face or Online Appointments available for your convenience.

I contacted Karen after struggling with anxiety/depression/panic attacks for a few months due largely to Covid/redundancy and home pressures which had started to overwhelm me. My self confidence and self esteem were at rock bottom and I’d already tried 2 other therapist to no avail. However, after 4 sessions with Karen the difference in me has been amazing! Karen not only allows you to speak from the heart, she listens and offers alternative ways of looking at a situation, she also takes you through various therapy exercises depending upon your issues, also providing you with a recording for you to listen to at home. I found the practical side of the therapy especially helpful with issues I’d had problems with letting go of. I would highly recommend anyone who is struggling with similar issues to see Karen, I know if I ever do again I will return!

I contacted Karen as I could see that she offered hypnobirthing sessions. I was pregnant with my 2nd child and was very stressed and anxious about the birth due to having such a bad experience first time round! I had actually listened to one of Karen's tracks on the morning that I went in to labour and by that afternoon I had my baby! It all went very quickly and smoothly and I hadn't even realised that I was in labour until I was in the final stages!! This was completely different to my previous birth. I would highly recommend Karen to anyone.

When I first went to see Karen it was for anxiety and panic attacks, I was in a really bad place, the first session I had with her my anxiety level was really high, but after a few sessions with her she taught me how to control everything, and now I feel a lot better, she has really helped me get back to normality. I would highly recommend her .

I can’t thank Karen enough. I was in dark place with racing thoughts all of the time, as soon as the first session ended and I had my first ever recording that’s when I realised that she is the best person I have ever came across in this profession. I have dealt with depression a lot throughout my life and after seeing Karen and listening to the recordings when I needed them the most, it has really changed my life for the better. I would recommend Karen as she is professional, kind, understanding and one of the easiest people to speak too.

I recently contacted Karen as I had a debilitating phobia of Spiders which was taking over my entire life. I had tried everything to help with my phobia but nothing was working. I looked into hypnotherapy as it was pretty much the only option that I hadn't tried. Although I was very sceptical at first, I was at the point in my life where I was willing to try anything. After only 3 sessions with Karen I have noticed a huge difference in the way I deal with spiders and my phobia! Instead of crying and freezing on the spot for hours on end, I am now able to deal with a spider in a much calmer fashion. I can't explain how it works as everyone is different but one thing is for certain, I can't thank Karen enough for helping me, she has truly changed my life!

I would like to thank you for your help with my chocolate addiction - I was eating 10-14 bars every day - yes that is true! Following my visits to you and your aftercare MP3 recordings, I now have no desire whatsoever to eat chocolate ever again! I am losing weight, and making healthy food choices which can only be good for my health, and hopefully reverse my type 2 diabetes condition. Thank you very much - I highly recommend your services.

I have suffered from anxiety and worry for a number of years and I contacted Karen for help after trying other avenues including medication. Karen taught me to relax and look at my thoughts in a different way by being positive and not looking at the negatives. After several sessions I feel calm and relaxed and I look forward to every day. Thank you Karen.

Having had a number of sessions with Karen I found them fab! She taught me so many different ways to deal with my anxiety and I'm now using those techniques in my everyday life to find positivity, calmness and confidence! Huge thank you Karen I am forever grateful for your help and support!

After suffering with anxiety for months during what can only be described as the worse year ever I researched hypnotherapy and Karen had excellent reviews, a had an initial consultation and felt that Karen understood everything that I was saying and was very empathetic. I have had several sessions now and can honestly say that Karen is amazing and I would 100% recommend her. The follow up recordings help to support each session and provide a go to helping hand when needed. Thank you Karen for making life worth living again

When I first met Karen, my anxiety was controlling me and I needed to do something. After admittedly feeling like I didn't understand how the techniques would help me, after every session I started to realise I was thinking differently. My anxiety scores went from being very high at the beginning of treatment to really low by the time we finished. I can almost feel my brain thinking differently now which is something I never thought was possible. As cheesy as it sounds, Karen has literally changed my life!

Thank you for helping me to get my life back. I have suffered from depression and anxiety for years, I had been studying in my final year for a degree, depressed and lacking motivation, I hadn’t done any studying since January, I smashed the deadlines, handing all assignments in on time and achieving a first class degree. I am motivated and focussed and able to make positive decisions for the future.I feel empowered and feel able to deal with life crises with a level head. I would recommend your service to others struggling to make sense of things or needing a boost to their motivation.

Life changing! My anxiety was so debilitating that I was struggling to have a rational thought and my mind was constantly whirring in the most negative way. I was fearful that I was going ‘mad’. Karen has helped me to become the person I was, again- confident, rational, happy, with a blissfully clear mind. I can’t thank her enough and the service is amazing! Not only do you get an incredible session, Karen sends you bespoke recordings Absolutely incredible. I would recommend Karen to anyone.

I’ve suffered with insomnia for longer than I care to remember, this then led me to suffer with anxiety, and ultimately to not being able to even carry out some basic activities and even to believing that I wasn’t capable of doing my job. In our first meeting, Karen made me very comfortable and went home more calmer and settled than I’d been in a long time. Through Karen, I’ve learnt to put various techniques in place to deal with the anxiety. When Karen asked me if I would be willing to write a short testimonial about her work, I didn’t hesitate as her work has improved my sleep and confidence ten-fold, and I would highly recommend anyone to get in touch with her. You will not be disappointed.

When I first went to see Karen I was completely lost. I felt I had lost all control over my personal life through a relationship in which I was being controlled. I knew in my head it was wrong but I did not have the strength to say enough is enough! Karen helped me in ways which I never thought possible. Especially in times where I felt so low and wanted to give up. After just a few sessions with Karen I started to believe in myself and found that I was worth so much more. I found me again and the strength in me. I can never thank her enough I honestly believe Karen worked a miracle on me.

I have felt much better in myself, my anxiety symptoms have calmed down significantly. I utilise the coping mechanisms we discussed when I feel things are overwhelming me and they help stop negative feelings and thoughts progressing. The recordings provided are also helpful and help me to get into a better place. I seem to have let go of some of my past issues following one of the exercises we did and they don't bother me at all any longer which is wonderful. I would highly recommend you to anyone experiencing any similar issues.

I contacted Karen as I had severe social phobia and anxiety around work issues. Karen is very friendly professional and easy to talk to.With the personalised cd's and tools that karen taught me I am now able to enjoy life to the full. I have recently attended a family wedding and enjoyed a holiday in the sun, While on holiday my partner said I seemed happier and more sociable. Karen has given me my confidence back. THANKYOU.
